Happy Spring!

The hydrangea are up, the daffodils are blooming, there are buds on the lilacs and the forsythia are done! And the grass needed mowing. Spring is officially here at Keewaydin!

Here is where I had dinner on the first night back. A balmy 75 degrees! I deserved a moment of quiet respite after finishing up (finally) the twin bed room. I think we'll call it the blue room from now on?

I also had a nice visit with Janet-across-the-pond. Even though we don't have a long personal history together, our parents and grandmothers had such wonderful times together that it seemed like we'd known each other forever.

When Bob arrived for the weekend, he went right to 'work' (after mowing the front yard of course) on the latest project. I'll be interested to hear the 'professional' opinion after Val and Dan visit for Ragnar Cape Cod weekend! It's still a work in progress, of course. The 'patio' under the deck needs to be totally re-graded and stone pavers reset. But that's Keewaydin for us - a continuous project! 

Oh, and we (Bob sawing, me hauling) major-ly trimmed several (large) branches from the pine tree overhanging the path to the pond, with the wooden extension ladder and hand saw.  And cut up a bit of the leaning Russian olive bush/tree. 

The pond water is still very high, so we didn't put in the dock yet.  It was a beautiful weekend to be outside.
